whenever my macbook goes to the lock screen, the display turns off less than a second later instead of activating the screensaver.
initially, my first thought was low power mode had something to do with it, but even when i turned it off, its still happening.
i'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there a way to keep that from happening?
MacBook Air 15″, macOS 26.1
The lock screen and screensaver are not the same thing.
You activate the lock screen by pressing Command-Control-Q or selecting Lock Screen from the Apple menu.
Screensaver activates when the set idle time is reached, or it can activated with a hot corner.
Check your settings in (at least) two places:
1) Go to System Settings->Wallpaper, click Screen Saver...
and select the desired time next to Start Screen Saver...
2) Go to System Settings->Lock Screen, check those settings and adjust as desired:
